History in
a Pecan Shell
In his well-researched
and detailed volume Springs of Texas, Gunnar Brune introduces
us to hundreds of springs, streams, creeks, tributaries, wells and
maybe a swamp or two - many of which have names unsuitable for towns.
Six miles southwest of Aspermont
in Stonewall County
(at 33°08' N, 100°25' W) flows Big Stinking Creek. Sulphur springs
feed the creek and give it its name (and odor).
It's not a heavily populated area, so there are few people that have
to endure the embarrassment of giving directions to visitors. Big
Stinking Creek flows northeast for sixteen miles before joining the
Salt Fork of the Brazos River in northern Stonewall
County (at 33°15' N, 100°11' W). |
